In addition, as a result of changing technology and through special legislative acts, new and expanding activities have been undertaken over the years. Changes in Bureau activity have occasionally resulted in redirection of admin- istrative and management emphasis ; the most recent major reorganiza- tion came in 1964 with the formation of four Institutes to encompass the various activities that existed at that time. The significant changes that have taken place in the past fiscal year are discussed below. In each case, the change was designed to make the Bureau more responsive to needs of the commercial, scientific, and industrial groups which it serves. Center for Radiation Research Created A Center for Radiation Research was formed to provide more effec- tive management of the Bureau's large radiation facilities, previously under two different Institutes in the NBS structure. With all of its major radiation-producing machines under central management the Bureau will be able (1) to provide special services to all of its programs, (2) to carry out more vigorous basic research and (3) to share its unique resources with other Government agencies and with universities. Special radiation facilities at KBS include a ten megawatt nuclear research reactor and a 100 million electron volt linear accelerator, as well as a number of other radiation-producing machines and sources. These facilities, especially the large machines, are used in a wide variety of studies by various units in the Bureau, and are available to the Government and academic communities of the Washington area. NBS studies cover radiation measurement and standards, basic nature of matter and radiation, and the effects of radiation on matter and materials. The new Center for Radiation Research is composed of a Reactor Radiation Division, Linac Radiation Division, Nuclear Radiation Divi- sion, and Applied Radiation Division. 1 Reorganization of Boulder Laboratories During the fiscal year the NBS Boulder, Colo., Laboratories were unified, under a single, local management for the first time since 1964, when the Bureau's programs were divided up between the Institute for Basic Standards (IBS), the Institute for Materials Research (IMR), the Institute for Applied Technology (IAT), and the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory (CRPL). The last has since become part of the Environmental Science Services Administration. A reorganization which began in midyear was completed June 30, bringing all of the Boulder elements into the NBS Institute for Basic Standards, organized to provide "the central national basis for a com- plete, consistent system of physical measurement, coordinated with those of other nations." Transfer of the Boulder Cryogenics Division into IBS and the appointment of a Deputy Director for IBS-Boulder to direct the activ- ities of five research divisions and the services of three support divi- sions, created a common bond in fulfilling the IBS assignment to develop and maintain standards for physical quantities and for the measurement of physical properties. New Institute Directors Named New Directors for the three NBS Institutes were named during the year. The average age of the new Directors is 44, indicative of manage- ment policy to fill senior positions with young persons who are scientifi- cally well qualified but also attuned to the expanding and changing role of science and technology in the Nation. Dr. Ernest Ambler, Chief of the NBS Inorganic Materials Division was named to head the Institute for Basic Standards. Dr. Ambler, a Briton by birth, came to the United States in 1953, and joined NBS the same year. He began performing magnetic research and nuclear orientation studies at temperatures approaching absolute zero and, within eight months after coming to the Bureau, completed the first nuclear alinement experiments to be conducted in the United States. Dr. Ambler received his B.A., M.A., and Ph. D. degrees at Oxford University in 1945, 1949 and 1953. He shared in the 1964 Samuel Wes- ley Stratton Award for work demonstrating that the quantum me- chanical law of parity conservation does not hold in weak interactions. He was also honored for this work with a Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award in 1957, the Washington Academy of Sciences Award in 1957, and the John Price Wetherill Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1962. In 1960, Dr. Ambler was named one of the ten out- standing young men in the Federal Government, receiving the Arthur S. Fleming Award in recognition of his outstanding work in science. 2 Dr. John D. Hoffman heads the Institute for Materials Research. He has been with NBS since 1954, when he joined the Polymer Structure Section as a physical chemist. In 1956, a Dielectrics Section under Dr. Hoffman's direction was established to investigate such areas as dielec- tric properties of polymers, precision dielectric measurements, and theoretical studies on relaxation phenomena in molecular crystals. In 1964 he was named Polymers Division Chief. Dr. Hoffman received his B.S. in chemistry at Franklin and Marshall College in 1942 ; and in 1948 and 1949, he received his M.S. and Ph. D. degrees in physical chemistry from Princeton University. Dr. Hoffman was presented the 1967 Samuel Wesley Stratton Award. He was corecipient, in 1961 of an NBS Special Act of Service Award. The Washington Academy of Sciences awarded him a certificate

    R. Stephen Berry 1931–2020 A Biographical Memoir by Stuart A. Rice and Joshua Jortner ©2021 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. RICHARD STEPHEN BERRY April 9, 1931–July 26, 2020 Elected to the NAS, 1980 We have prepared this memoir to bear witness to the life of R. Stephen (Steve) Berry, with emphasis on the view that a memorial is about reminding ourselves and others of more than his many and varied contributions to science; it is also to remind us of his personal warmth and freely offered friendship, of his generous support for all of us in a variety of situations, and of his loyalty to his friends and the institutions he served. The record of an individ- ual’s accomplishment is commonly taken to define his/ her legacy. Using that protocol, creative scientists are fortunate in that their contributions are visible, and those contributions endure, or not, on their own merits. Steve Berry was one of the most broadly ranging and influen- tial scientists in the world. His seminal experimental and By Stuart A. Rice theoretical contributions are distinguished by a keen eye and Joshua Jortner for new concepts and innovative and practical analyses. These contributions, which are remarkable in both scope and significance, have helped to shape our scientific perception. They have had, and continue to have, great influence on the development of chemistry, biophysics materials science, the science and technology related to the use, production, and conservation of energy, the societal applications of science and technology, and national and international science policy.

Silcox National Institute of Standards and Technology • U.S. Department of Commerce Responding to National Needs: Supplement to Appendices 1994-2009 Compiled and edited by: Keith Martin Barbara P. Silcox Electronic Composition: Karen Wick May 2010 U.S. Department of Commerce Gary Locke, Secretary National Institute of Standards and Technology Patrick D. Gallagher, Director FOREWORD This Supplement to Appendices is a continuation of the data collected in the appendices of NIST Special Publication 955, Responding to National Needs: The National Bureau of Standards Becomes the National Institute of Standards and Technology 1969-1993, by James F. Schooley, November 2000. It incorporates, and therefore supersedes, the previous Supplement published July 2002. This current Supplement covers the period 1993-2009. The data will be used to support the research and compilation of the fourth volume of the NBS/NIST history series. Since the publishing of the first Supplement, NIST has had several accomplishments worthy of noting. During this period, NIST had its third Nobel Prize winner in Physics. John L. (Jan) Hall of the NIST Physics Lab and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Theodor W. Hänsch of the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany, were named winners of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing the honor with Roy J. Glauber of Harvard University. Hall shares the Nobel Prize with Hänsch, “for their contributions to the development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique.” In 2004, NIST made big advances in a small area by building the world’s smallest atomic clock.

  • See the Scientific Petition
    May 20, 2016 Implement the Endangered Species Act Using the Best Available Science To: Secretary Sally Jewell and Secretary Penny Prtizker We, the under-signed scientists, recommend the U.S. government place species conservation policy on firmer scientific footing by following the procedure described below for using the best available science. A recent survey finds that substantial numbers of scientists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe that political influence at their agency is too high.i Further, recent species listing and delisting decisions appear misaligned with scientific understanding.ii,iii,iv,v,vi For example, in its nationwide delisting decision for gray wolves in 2013, the FWS internal review failed the best science test when reviewed by an independent peer-review panel.vii Just last year, a FWS decision not to list the wolverine ran counter to the opinions of agency and external scientists.viii We ask that the Departments of the Interior and Commerce make determinations under the Endangered Species Actix only after they make public the independent recommendations from the scientific community, based on the best available science. The best available science comes from independent scientists with relevant expertise who are able to evaluate and synthesize the available science, and adhere to standards of peer-review and full conflict-of-interest disclosure. We ask that agency scientific recommendations be developed with external review by independent scientific experts. There are several mechanisms by which this can happen; however, of greatest importance is that an independent, external, and transparent science-based process is applied consistently to both listing and delisting decisions.

  • A History of the National Bureau of Standards
    APPENDIX A FERDINAND RUDOLPH HASSLER First Superintendent of the Coast Survey and of Weights and Measures When Professor Stratton arrived at the Office of Weights and Measures on B Street in Washington in the spring of 1898 to survey its equipment and operations, he found there in the person of Louis A. Fischer, the adjuster, a link with Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler, the first Superintendent of Weights and Measures in the Federal Government. It was in the atmosphere of the office over which Hassler had presided, Stratton said, with its sacred traditions concerning standards, its unsurpassed instrument shop, its world-known experts in the construction and comparison of standards, and especially in the most precise measurement of length and mass, that the boy Fischer, scarcely over 16, found himself when he entered the employ of Govern- ment in a minor capacity [about the year 18801. * * Scarcely 40 years had passed since the end of Hassler's services and the beginning of Fischer's. His first instructors were the direct disciples of Hassler and he knew and talked with those who had come in personal contact with the first superintendent.1 Fischer's reminiscences concerning the early historyof the Weights and Measures office, gathered from his association with the successors of Hassler, were never recorded, to Stratton's regret, and the only biography of Hassler, by Florian Cajori, professor of mathematics at the University of California, centers on his career in the Coast Survey gathered from his association with the successors of Hassler, were never recorded, to in the history of science in the Federal Government, is the principal source of the present sketch.2 1 Stratton, "Address Memorializing Louis Albert Fischer, 1864.—1921," 15th Annual Con.
